We had a good meeting with food and gift exchanges.

The edible offerings were diverse.

Thirteen participated in the exchange of hot pads and recipes.

The individual hot pads.

Front and back views for this one.

The following two pictures are the cornucopia of goodies in one of the hot pad gifts.

The first picture is one of a pair of hot pads. The second photo shows both.

These two photos are for the mitt that has a flap for fingers and another flap for thumb so that it folds on the diagonal for use.

This hot pad came with a peppermint bark treat. Its back is shown in the second photo.

Show & Tell

Only Ruth brought a block from last month's BOM.

Sandra's quilt for her sister, who swore she'd have no more pets. So on the horse farm she moved to, a cat adopted her. This is Sandra's joke for her sister.

Sandra made this too. The first photo is the front and the second is the back.

Jean made these gift-card-holder ornaments and provided written instructions and kits for us to make one also. This first example is one that was stitched and turned so all raw edges are concealed.

This second pocket ornament is raw edge finished.

We had a good turnout for the bowl-making lesson.

There was a lot of Show & Tell.

Hope brought the quilt she made from last month's pumpkin blocks.

And another that's newly quilted.

Jean brought this quilt and it has a fun backing fabric.

Leslie quilted these two quilts...

... and she made these three.

Sandra O. made this dachshund.

Sandra P. brought the monochromatic challenge from years ago. The inspiration was a window design by Frank Lloyd Wright. We were allowed a tiny amount of a second color and that's where the blue-accented purple batik came in.
